Yeah for Terrific Tuesdays!

Oh what a relief it is to be in God's will, an though there has been hurt and heartache along the way Nick and I felt today we were right were He wanted us to be.  We LOVE our social worker/adoption specialist!! She made us feel so welcome and at home in her cozy little office; actually the staff were welcoming.  It was more like a conversation between friends rather than an interview and the good Lord knew my nerves couldn't handle much today.  She confirmed today that things are right on track.  We are waiting on our FBI background check to arrive.. we all know how the government puts things off and then all the paperwork portion is complete.  We are scheduled to return to Columbus on February 21st ( a special day for our family because it's my nephew's 8th bday..wow 8 really??) for our next visit with our adoption specialists.  This will consit of another joint interview and then our indiviual interviews...this may be a little nerve racking but I'll go first so Nick can sweat it out in the lobby :).   Anyways then the next step is our home review.  She gave us a check list of all the things she will be looking for and thank goodness she's not looking to see a completed nursery because we are way behind on that.  I do have ideas for the nursery but just haven't gotten to them yet... who me busy??  During the meantime we will be working on our adoption profile that will be a picture book of our lives and family that will be shown to the birthmother ... she will choose us based on what she see's here (glad we are photogeneic !).  After that all that's left is an all day educational meeting on March 23rd and then were are completed and approved (pending nothing major happens).  And then we WAIT!!!! We wait on God's perfect timing for us two and pray for Baby Fiveash's arrival.  So all it all it was a Terrefic Tuesday just as He promised!

With all our love,
Nick and Phyllis
